Blending in

This morning, we encountered our first flounder of the season, a Flowery Flounder.  It was about 12 inches long and blended in pretty well with its background.  It was hungry, and we watched it approach a small, White-spotted Toby.  The toby was able to stay out of its reach and survived.
